The dinner and underground cellar tour at Penfolds in Adelaide was a spectacular way to round out the 2023 year for the industry's peak body for the packaging and processing industry. With 80 representatives from 28 APPMA member companies gathering to sample a range of Penfold's Cellar Reserve wines, the evening was both convivial and collegiate. Members enjoyed learning about the history of this heritage wine brand and tasting the results of the wine maker's labours.
Marketing and events manager for APPMA, Denni Egan, said: "With our previously held Adelaide Dinners only reaching a maximum of 53 people, this strong turnout is clearly a sign that APPMA members are becoming more engaged with their industry association, ahead of the largest event for the processing and packaging industry Australia has ever seen."
Over dinner attendees heard from APPMA chair Mark Dingley, as he spoke of the anticipation building up ahead of APPEX 2024 and the success it is shaping up to be, with Gala Dinner tickets selling fast, and the exhibition being over 95 per cent sold.
